On the classical dynamics of billiards on the sphere

arXiv:chao-dyn/9903032 · doi:10.1088/0305-4470/32/44/315

Abstract

We study the classical motion in bidimensional polygonal billiards on the sphere. In particular we investigate the dynamics in tiling and generic rational and irrational equilateral triangles. Unlike the plane or the negative curvature cases we obtain a complex but regular dynamics.
